Online baby monitor, right in your browser

Peekababy is a free online baby monitor. Open the same page on two phones, tablets or laptops, scan a QR code, and you have a working babyphone with live video, two-way audio and cry alerts. There is no app to install, no account to create, and the video never leaves your two devices.

What this online babyphone does

Live video and sound

A real-time picture from the baby unit, with sound. Works over Wi-Fi and mobile data, so you can watch from the garden, the garage or another building.

Two-way talk

Hold the talk button to soothe your child with your own voice, or start the built-in lullaby remotely without walking into the room.

Cry alerts

The monitor listens for crying and pushes an alert to your phone, even when the browser is closed or the screen is off.

Private by design

Audio and video travel directly between your two devices, encrypted end to end with WebRTC. Nothing is recorded and nothing is stored on a server.

Set it up in about a minute

  1. Open peekababy.app on the phone that stays with your child and choose Baby monitor.
  2. Open the same page on your own phone, choose Parent, and scan the QR code shown on the first device.
  3. You are live. Leave the baby unit plugged in, and use the toolbar for sound, alerts and the lullaby.

Frequently asked questions

Is this online baby monitor really free?

Yes. Peekababy is completely free, with no account, no subscription, no trial and no advertising. You only need two devices with a modern browser.

Do I need to install an app?

No. It runs entirely in the browser on iPhone, iPad and Android. You can optionally add it to your home screen so it opens like a normal app, but there is nothing to download from an app store.

Does it work outside the house?

Yes. As long as both devices have an internet connection you can watch from anywhere. On the same Wi-Fi the two devices usually connect directly to each other for the lowest possible delay.

Can anyone else see my camera?

No. The link to a monitor is a random one-time ID, so only a device that scans your QR code or opens your link can connect. The stream is encrypted end to end and is never recorded or routed through a server for storage.

What do I need to run it?

Two devices with a camera or microphone and a current version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. Keep the baby unit on a charger, since streaming video uses battery.

Can both parents watch at the same time?

Yes. Use the invite button to add another parent, and several devices can watch the same monitor at once.
